"The Residents are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their first
release: the 1972 “Santa Dog” 7-inch, with a 100+ piece box set.
The package is set to include first pressings of over 40 LPs, 50 CDs,
a few dozen 7-inch singles, EPs, CD-ROMs, DVDs, and videos, as well as a
bobble-head doll and a genuine Residents eyeball mask. Oh, and did I
mention it’s all packaged in a fully functional 28 cu. ft. refrigerator?" (from Tiny Mix Tapes)

price tag: $100, 000

one hopes they are taking the piss out of retro culture

release, 1972's “Santa Dog”single)
